Genuinely scary horror movies

[screwjack]

REC is fantastic

 

[Cockney Mackem]

The trouble with being a sceptic/atheist is that supernatural horrors just aren't scary because all the time you're watching it you're thinking "well this is just bollocks, ghosts don't exist".

Just been watching The Conjuring with the missus (even with the lights turned off to try to increase the spookiness) and the whole time the pair of us were just completely unmoved by it.

Can you recommend something that is actually scary?

Personally, Jurassic Park scared the crap out of me because it was something that could actually happen. (Science bitch!)

Not into torture porn like Saw and that sort of bollocks.

Not bothered about cheap shocks with loud noses and things jumping out at you unexpectedly.

Looking for something that creeps you out or makes you actually scared.

Answers?

Mate, NONE OF IT EXISTS. If you want to be scared by real things I suggest a documentary. Like about climate change

Got a link m8?

Not after the court case, no.

 

[Cypher]

Audition is quite twisted as well.

 

[Mr Vertigo]

Is Hereditary any good?

No, it's a load of old bollocks.

The last ten minutes of Kill List is some scary shit.

Scooby Doo and the Witch's Ghost

 

[PhilSAFC]

Er, yes.

The “science” is Jurassic Park is absolute fantasy you lunatic. Ghosts are actually more plausible.

Scooby Doo and the Witch's Ghost

I'm in bed now trying to stifle laughter at this, while the mrs is next to me reading something called a 'book'.

She just wouldn't get it if I told her.

Indeed.

More chance of seeing a ghost than finding dinosaur DNA.

 

[Carpets]

Out of interest do any people who believe in no god/gods believe in ghosts?

Not true though is it? If you had complete manipulation over DNA you could create a dinosaur from scratch. How could you create a ghost?

Alien more than Aliens.

Not sure about MM2 as a horror film too.

 

[Running Man]

The Strangers
Eden Lake (probably not horror mind)

Shit myself watching the strangers at the pictures, very scary. Eden lake also very scary.

 

[Fetch Fletch]

Creep 1 and 2 by the Duplass brothers are seriously disturbing

We tried to get a copy of this but couldn't find one with subtitles.

Some horror movies are plausible or at least allow you to suspend your disbelief for the duration. Others are just bollocks from start to finish.

 

[Notorious N O B]

Never been scared of a film since thriller when I was 6. Little puff I was

 

[oilcat]

Not a fan of horrors, really. But have to say The Exorcist was genuinely scary.
